Gateau au chocolat moelleux et fondant

[idun]

Anyone get a good and well tried french recipe for a gateau au chocolat moelleux et fondant?

I don't know if the recipe is any good, but you could try this Nutella fondant pudding

Thanks, but I want a real french recipe with what looks like a soggy, heavy bake, but is so chocolate rich that it melts in the mouth. Rather than a fondant that rises and when on the serving plate,  put the spoon through and the liquid chocolate oozes out, like the yolk on a good poached egg[:D]

And I hate nutella, love hazelnuts, but not that.

Sounds as if you need Delia's chocolate truffle torte, idun! Just google it if you don't have the recipe already.

(You can substitute golden syrup for the "liquid glucose" in the recipe.)

Thanks, but no thanks, as I want an authentic french recipe...... and I do not know of one french lady who would have used golden syrup or liquid glucose when I lived there.

I used to have a good recipe from a friend. Hers was the best I had, and I have lost the recipe and lost contact  with her too. I remember clearly the first time she served it to me, it looked sad and soooooooo heavy and I was dreading eating it and it was truly scrumptious.

In fact that is not the only recipe I have lost, a couple of books as well as loose papers with recipes on are missing too, daresay they will eventually show up.

Plenty of French recipes here in Madame le Figaro

Many thanks for the replies. 

I can see hundreds of recipes on french sites, but I have 'done' recipes before, ploughed my way through too many, before I found the right one...... donc, that is why I would love, as I said, a well tried recipe.

IF no one makes it, tant pis, I'll get onto a couple of friends in France who bake, but in my entourage, they do not bake as much as I do, and I have lost contact with the lady who does the wonderful one........ as she has moved away.... as did I......[blink]
